お久しぶりです。

少し遅れ気味ですが、あけましておめでとうございます。
長い間ニコットタウンを離れていましたが、先月無事大学に受かり、入学手続きも無事終わり、今はフィリピンで久しぶりの休暇です。
ここ数ヶ月、母の仕事関係で紹介してもらった先生の下で日本語を始めて本格的に勉強することができ、数年ぶりに秋を経験し、日本での始めての長期間の滞在で様々な面でとても学ぶことが出来ました。
7月から12月と言う短い間でしたが、帰国子女枠の受験のメインとなる小論文を描き続けたことで今まで自分が問いかけたことのなかったことを見つめ直し、おかげで大分物事への見方が変化したと思っています。
そのため、私のフィリピンでの経験の貴重さを再確認でき、日本へ帰るまでの間、出来るだけ積極的に周りを観察することに集中ています。
まだ日本語能力では当たり前ながら一般の大学生に比べたらかなり劣っているので、日本に帰国して、大学が始まる4月まではまた日本語の勉強に集中しつつ、初めての「春」という季節を満喫するつもりです。
最後に、このサイトでの長いブランクの間、心配してくださった方がいましたら、大変申し訳ありませんでした。
前ほど頻繁にはブログもできそうにありませんが、また日常での発見や考え事を出来るだけ書いていこうと思っています。
どうか、よろしくお願いいたします。
Loooooooong time no see. How have you been?
You must graduate from university in March!
I remember you from time to time.
Dr.Nakamura's incident shocked me a lot; I supported him ever since you told me he was really a nice person. So sad...
I'd love to hear how you are doing.
So if you have time, please let me know~^^
Did you enjoy GW?
arie, carrie and I met face to face at arie's daughter's concert last month.
They were as good peoson as they are in NICOTTO.
I had a great time with them.
Hope you have a wonderful school days.
Thank you for visiting me.
How have you been doing?
My page was accidently deleted.
It is a pity that the record I communicated with you was gone.
Enjoy holidays!
It was nice meeting you in the last session! I still have problems in getting used to the temperature here, but I haven`t gotten sick yet. (Thank god I seem to be durable in terms of health)
Thank you for your concern! :D
Eri-
I was glad to meet you in the meeting too. I`m not perfectly sure if I can join, but I look forward to our next session. Thank you :D
We are very happy to see you.
As arie said, we will have another snow days next week.
Warm you up and don't catha a cold!
I'm really thrilled to hear from you!
I'll cross my fingers crossed for you not to catch a cold under this severe weather.
I'd be happy to talk about my trip anytime you could join the meeting.
Take it easy and Take Care!
Hi, Milk!
Its been such a long time since I last logged in to this site. I can`t wait to hear your story in Cambodia! Hopefully, I have a chance to join SESS when you are discussing about your trip.
Carrie-
Hi, Carrie. I just came back to Japan just yesterday. I think I`ll have time for the next SESS, since I`m not helping out with my mom`s work.
As for mr. Takagi, I hope to read his books as well once I`ve gotten a hold of my body in this cold temperature. Thank you for introducing his project to me!
How are you doing? You must be busy studying Japanese!
I went to listen to a lecture by 高木善之 last Sunday. He's a representative of 地球村.
I was so impressed by his message to save the earth, so I've decided to support him as well as Dr. Nakamura. :)
I thought you might be interested in his activities. The organization is also located in Osaka.

I hope you'll enjoy learning some Japanese by reading this site as well! :D
Welcome Back!
I just came back from Cambodia last week.
It was a short trip, however, I saw many kids working in the touring site.
I remembered your blog in Phillipines, and felt like to understand a little more than before.
I can't wait to see you again in Sess.
Please come to anytime you have time.
Anyway, congratulations !!!!
Thank you, Eri!
I`m really thankful for your words. I hope I`ll be able to join SESS frequently as possible from now on to catch up for the few months I lost. :D
We are very happy to hear from you.
You know how much we love you and miss you.
We send you congratulations on your new life from bottom of our heart.
If you have any worries to start learning in Japan, don't hesitate to ask us.
We are much older than you, and we have a lot of experience.
We are happy to be your help.
Say hello to your family.
Thanks for your response, Frost!
It's amazing that it takes you two hours and a half to
get to your university from your grandfather's residence.
That means you're supposed to spend five hours a day
on a commuter railroad.
It must be a really tough workload when it comes to
your daily routine.
I hope you and your grandparents'll come up with a good
idea to lessen your burden to continue your comfortable
campus life in Japan.
You're always welcome to SESS whenever it's convenient
to you.
You don't have to change your daily pace of life to join us.
Have a nice weekend.
Thank you, Carrie! The university I`m planning to attend is the city university in Osaka. Its a 2 and a half hour train ride from my grandpa`s house (where I`m planning to stay for the mean time), so I`ll probably spend most of the time in the train, but I`m really looking forward to studying there.
As for my Japanese, it still takes time for me to write essays or read books with many characters, so I`ll probably be falling behind in university for a while. I hope I`ll be able to improve more before school starts!
arie-
Thank you for still considering to invite me to SESS after months of absence! I hope that I`ll be able to join the session, but since I`ll be helping out with my mother`s work for the next few weeks, I still don`t know if I`ll be free then. (My mother`s schedule is usually unpredictable)
I still look forward to joining SESS and catching up though!
Long time no see.
We've been wondering what's been happening to you
since you left us.
I'm really glad to hear you've passed the entrance exam
to a university in Japan and will start your campus life
in April.
I hope you'll have a great time in mingling with Japanese
students at your college who'll certainly help you improve
your Japanese and catch up with what you've missed during
your stay in the Philippines.
I'd appreciate it if you'd spare some time and join us in the
SESS session which will start at 21:30 on Jan. 16 for the
first time this year.
See you later.
I'm so glad to hear you passed the entrance exam and will be a university student from April~!
Which area your university is located?
I thought your Japanese was really good, but now is better still.
You've really learned a lot within a short period of time. Amazing!
Enjoy learning more Japanese, and the spring time in Japan for the first time~^^
